Grace

Good to know.

You’re not mad at me?

Me

I’m a little disappointed, but no, I'm not mad. But don't do something like that again, Gertie.

Grace

I won't, Hayes.

Me

I miss you. Be good to your mama, okay? Give her an extra-tight hug from me. Give one to Claire too.

Me

What are you wearing?

Annabelle

This is where I feel like I should lie and tell you I'm wearingsomething sexy…

Me

But you're not going to do that, are you?

Annabelle

I mean, I could, but honesty is paramount in a relationship.

The truth is that I’m wearing an old plaid flannel nightgown that my grandma gave me for Christmas over a decade ago. I have a pink hydrating mask on my face and foam rollers in my hair.

There was a reason why I didn't answer your FaceTime call.

Me

Well, that took a turn. No need to jack off now.

Annabelle

LOL. Sorry, not sorry.

The bubbles hop and hop before they disappear. Then, they start hopping again. I grin, wondering what she's texting.

Do you ever think of me when you jack off?

My grin grows. I love my naughty girl.

Me

Every damn time.

I'd ask if you think of me when you masturbate, but I already know that answer since I walked in on you after we filmed the music video.
